As temperatures rise and snow melts, students around campus are shedding their winter coats and snow boots to update their style for the upcoming spring weather. The Phillipian interviewed students to find out what items students across campus are bringing out this term, including gold jewelry, floral patterns, and flip-flops.

“I’ve started wearing more gold rings and gold jewelry in general. I have this pair of really cute cherry earrings that I started wearing more. I like to wear gold in the spring because of the sunny vibe. The weather really affects the way I dress and if it’s bright and sunny out, a lot of times I choose to accessorize more or put more effort into how I present myself. I also really like red so I incorporate a lot of red into my outfits as well. It’s one of my favorite colors, so I love incorporating small little elements of red here and there in my outfits.”
Kelley MacKinnon ’27
“I’ve retired my boots for my cute shoes with little flowers on them. I’ve been trying to accessorize my wardrobe with more green [because of] the weather warming up. When the weather warms up it definitely makes me want to look cute and dress in my fun clothes that I don’t always get to wear during winter because they’re either covered up by coats or they’re too summery to wear. I’m just really excited to bring out all my spring clothes and spring accessories. I tend to wear more gold accents in the warmer weather, so I am excited to bring out those and just bring out in general my lighter colors and cuter clothes that I’m not worried about getting dirty in the snow.”
Shiloh Sharma ’29
“I have started wearing these necklaces recently. I have a couple of them and I also got two of them for my friends. I have one with a heart and an infinity sign, I have one with some hearts, and I also have one with the sun and the moon. I’ve been wearing more jewelry that I have liked recently. I started wearing rings and I also have these earrings that I always wear. I only wear silver jewelry because I don’t think that gold jewelry looks good on me, so it fits that part of my style. I’m excited to continue wearing these earrings of mine, the hook earrings with three purple flowers on them. They’re dangly and they’re nice, and they’re probably one of my favorite physical items that I have of all time.”

“Flip-flops are probably my favorite accessory, especially when the weather starts getting warmer. They go with a lot of things like skirts and jeans, and they’re just easy to pair with things. I have two pairs that I go between just depending on my outfit and the colors I wanna wear, [and] they’re both the brand Haviana’s. Especially for the spring, in the warmer weather, I like something less bulky. So, they’re pretty applicable to all my different outfits and they are nice and casual. You can wear them with something warmer. You could do jeans and a sweater but then you can also wear them with shorts and a T-shirt. So with the fluctuating weather in the spring, they’re a good shoe for that.”
